Amid a tight playoff race, reinforcements will soon arrive for the Toronto Blue Jays in the form of September call-ups as rosters expand to 28 players.
As of Sept. 1, all 30 MLB franchises can promote one pitcher and one position player from the minors, both of whom can remain on the roster through the remainder of the regular season.
The Blue Jays have already set aside one of those spots for outfielder Bradley Zimmer, who was reclaimed by the team on Monday, but they’ve yet to decide which hurler to recall.
Based on the club’s lack of immediate pitching depth, it will likely be a short list.
